ICE PALACE FILM STUDIOS TAKES BACK ITS WEST BUILDING,
FORMERLY KNOWN AS KARU & Y

The Ice Palace Film Studios, located at the corner of North Miami Avenue and 14th Street, has just taken back its West Building formerly known as Karu & Y (on the 14th street side of the Ice Palace facility), which will be a special events facility servicing large events.  The entire Ice Palace Facility is on 143,000 square feet of land which  features 20,000 square feet of interior space in its West Building (which was Karu & Y for the last 3 years)  and 65,000 square feet in its East Building (at the North Miami Avenue entrance).  The facility also features  58,000 square feet of gardens and will continue to serve clients ranging from large dinners for corporations and charities to concerts trade shows and of course, the film industry.

Ice Palace Film Studios owner Eugene Rodriguez says, “We feel there is a real need for elegant and flexible spaces where people can produce creative events of all kinds and strive to be an effective resource for South Florida’s tourism and advertising industry, as well as the local community which is in dire need of a space of this nature.”

The East Building of the Ice Palace, which features the film stages, will be undergoing significant upgrades to be ready for next fall’s season.   The Ice Palace Film Studios who’s elegant buildings were built in 1923, and were remodeled and opened as the Studio and Event facility in the year 2000, featuring a New Year’s Party with 7,000 people entertained by the great Danny Tenaglia and Victor Calderone.  The Ice Palace has just celebrated its ten year anniversary and is now uniting its West Building back under its wing and is looking forward to many more years of serving the South Florida community.

The reintroduction of the West Building (formerly known as Karu & Y), into the Ice Palace facility will now create a more comfortable and expanded layout for the 2010 Winter Music Conference week and all future events to take place at the venue.

The Ice Palace Film Studios will feature an extraordinary series of events from Made Event at both the West & East Buildings as follows:

Cielo Presents
Pre-WMC Extravaganza
TANIA VULCANO
Opening Set by  TATO
NICOLAS MATAR + WILIE GRAFF

New York City’s renowned nightclub Cielo presents a pre-WMC extravaganza right here in NYC with the infamous CircoLoco‘s TANIA VULCANO with an opening set by TATO and CIelo resident DJs NICOLAS MATAR & WILLIE GRAFF this Friday, March 19th, 2010.

Cielo’s Willie Graff and Nicolas Matar welcome Tania Vulcano and Tato to the DJ booth. Tania hails from Uruguay, but has lived in Ibiza for the last 10-years where she’s made the white island her own. With residencies at Space and DC 10’s infamous Circoloco night she’s truly cemented herself on the international stage playing alongside such legends of house as Danny Tenaglia and Fatboy Slim. Vulcano’s unique vibe takes its strength from her surname (yes it’s her real name) as she delivers relentless, flowing rhythm in a journey into true deep underground sounds that go from deep funky house to percussive tribal affairs. Her energy is evident in each session winning crowds over with her incessant foundation of quality house music. Tato, the man named Tomas Estaben, is by her side both professionally and personally – the fellow Circoloco resident is also her boyfriend, and the two are partners in the Isgud record label that specializes in deep and hypnotic house of the finest degree. Tato has previously collaborating with Charles Webster and Pig & Dan, and is known for painting soundscapes crafted from dreamy orchestration and near chilled neo-techno melodies

Porterhouse Party returns to Miami 2010 @ B.E.D.
Ultra Music Festival 2010 Video (DJ Steve Porter Remix)
Coachella 2010
Youtube.com/djsteveporter

Porterhouse returns to Miami during Winter Music Conference week for its 6th straight year on Saturday, March 27th at intimate clubbing boîte B.E.D. DJ/producer Steve Porter first launched his inaugural assault on club denizens with his Porterhouse party at State nightclub back in 2005 – with an eclectic set made up of a combination of Big Room Electro, Techno and Progressive House with Break Beats for build-up that was so electrifying, he left the crowd clamoring for more of his infectious, signature style. Over the years, the Porterhouse parties were so successful that the critically acclaimed compilations ‘Porterhouse Volumes I and II’ were spawned and his distinct ‘Porterhouse Style’ was unleashed to the world. Though he has had immense underground notoriety since then, 2009 was undoubtedly a defining year for Steve Porter as he made his mark on the mainstream front as a powerful music and Youtube video producer.

Porter has never been afraid to take his music one-step further in the name of keeping things intriguing. As he once fervidly said, “I don’t make music for anybody, I make it for myself.” It’s no surprise that he would use his creative foresight to experiment with the emerging ‘mash-up’ trend by creating the first ever video remix using the original Slap Chop infomercial to create a remix entitled “Rap Chop”. At almost 9 million Youtube views since its inception, the impressive viral Internet meme has propelled him into the spotlight. Popular is an understatement. Now at the pinnacle of his career, Steve Porter has composed so many video remixes that he not only has his own channel on Youtube now with over 16 million views but, he launched his own company Porterhouse Media to facilitate his new video remix projects which have garnered worldwide attention on press outlets such as TMZ, Fox News and ESPN. To date, his videos have been commissioned for FedEx, IBM’s Lotus Notes, and most recently, he is handling projects for ABC and he is set to produce the entire NBA “Where Amazing Happens” ad campaign with his video remixes for the 2010 playoffs.

2010 will be the year of Porterhouse Media with heaps of exciting new video remixes in the works including: “Life Alert Remix” featuring Wilford Brimley, “Doc Bottoms Aspray Remix”, and two remixes for the hit TV shows “Scrubs” and “Entourage” where Porter will be remixing the opening track “Superhero” by Jane’s Addiction.

On the touring front, Porter will be performing at upcoming massive events including NBA, Ultra Music Festival (March 26), WMC, and Coachella. For Ultra Music Festival, Porter created a special Ultra remix video starring many  of your favorite Ultra artists. At Coachella, Porter will debut a unique audio/visual live set full of original remixes as well as debut his “Superhero” remix collaboration with Jane’s Addition’s frontman Perry Farrell with an exclusive Perry Farrell vs. Steve Porter performance in the dance tent on Friday, April 16th.

With Porter’s prolific output and keen pulse on the cultural pulse of new media, he is one of the few artists on the cutting edge of this brave, new world. Find out what’s everybody’s talking about on youtube and don’t miss the chance to catch the always exciting DJ stylings of Steve Porter at one of his upcoming shows.

Perfecto presents
“SPECIAL GUEST”
with
HERNAN CATTANEO
MARK KNIGHT
NERVO
KENNETH THOMAS
@ Buddha Gardens at Karu & Y

Paul Oakenfold’s legendary Perfecto name has been synonymous with all things quality since its inception nearly two decades ago.  From top-notch productions by the world’s most elite artists to the finest events in the business, Perfecto has now transcended from record label to iconic dance music brand.  Following a string of highly successful conference events, Perfecto returns to Miami in the Buddha Gardens at Karu & Y with a slew of its best representatives. Hernan Cattaneo, Mark Knight, NERVO and Kenneth Thomas will be joined by a very Special Guest to bring the Perfecto sounds back to Miami on Saturday, March 27th, 2010.

The Special Guest, so exclusive “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named,” has been integral to Perfecto since its inception and is highly regarded as one of the first superstar DJs of the era, landing in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s most popular DJ. His impact on the world of dance music is undisputed and has been fiercely debated by purists but he is hugely credited with popularizing dance music in America with sweeping major-chord melodics, orchestral synthesizers, and big, dramatic crescendos for the masses.

Argentine hero Hernan Cattaneo is an electronic music renaissance man. From his touring, production work to his masterful mix CDs and radio shows, music isn’t just an occupation for Hernan – it’s an existence. Blessed with a warm and honest passion, Hernan’s journey has been rooted with a definitive musical understanding ever since he heard his first 12”s coming out of Detroit, Chicago, and Europe. Both a true DJ’s DJ and a peoples’ favorite, Hernan’s career has been filled with accomplishments rivaled by very few. A seminal Renaissance and Perfecto favorite, Hernan’s impressive compilation work can only be overshadowed by his extensive tour schedule; bringing him to the finest clubs and festivals throughout the world.

UK DJ/producer and Toolroom Knights head honcho Mark Knight’s high octane sets across the dance music spectrum have devastated dance floors throughout the world, while his original studio work and remixes have made him the most in-demand and sought after producer in the business.  With 2 IDMA nominations for ‘Best Global Label’ and ‘Best Global Radio Show’ for the Toolroom Knights radio show, a recent Grammy nomination for the Black Eyed Peas’ multi-platinum album ‘The E.N.D’, he also stormed Beatport’s 2009 best seller list with 3 of the year’s most popular tracks; “Good Times”, “Music Matters”, and “Flauta Magica.” Mark Knight continues to champion a sound and attitude that’s gained respect from fans and industry people alike, hungry for the integrity of the label’s production skills and the quality of their parties with residencies at Ministry of Sound London, Avalon Hollywood and Pacha NYC.

Transatlantic lady duo NERVO have been making quite a splash in the world of dance music recently.  With their hands dipped in all aspect of the scene there seems to be no stone left unturned when these two get down to business.  Hot of the heels of their writing work on David Guetta’s Grammy winning “When Love Takes Over”, they are now set to release multiple collaborations with platinum artists K$sha on her debut album.  However, their top-notch collaborations do not stop there.  As either writers or producers, NERVO are currently working with the likes of Armin Van Buuren, Roger Sanchez, Laidback Luke, Kylie Minogue and The Pussycat Dolls.

Paul Oakenfold knows how to spot talent and to him, “Kenneth Thomas is without doubt one of the most promising young DJs in the electronic scene right now. There is an intelligence and a well defined style to his sets. He’s quickly emerging as one to watch in the next generation of superstar DJs.” Following in the footsteps of prior Oakenfold protégé’s Dave Ralph, D:Fuse, and Hernan Cattaneo, the Detroit native and Pefecto A&R guy is now at the forefront of the modern era of progressive dance music.  With global DJ sets, studio work on the likes of Hope, Coldharbour and Perfecto, and the support of one of the greatest figures that dance music has ever seen, Kenneth Thomas is poised to break through in a big way.
